Achiken 1 - 3 Yokosuka-A-FC (386935916)

The crowd of 44364 turning up at Aichiken today were greeted with some nasty showers of rain. Arcadio Irigoin was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Fatih Beydilli and Manfred von Wackerbarth. Achiken tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Lineup: Parandyk - Scholma, Capponi, Allemann - Marcolin, Narváez, Donat, Huopainen, Camara - Uţă, Guba.

Yokosuka-A-FC decided to use a 3-5-2 set up. Starters: 吉田 (Yoshida) - Torquemada, 鈴木 (Suzuki), Turnagözü - 山田 (Yamada), 平山 (Hirayama), Abramov, Kubatovics, 畠山 (Hatakeyama) - 大谷 (Otani), Foglieni.

It was a bad day for the usually speedy C. Uţă. The mud seemed to slow him down. Yokosuka-A-FC took the lead after 34 minutes making the score 0 - 1. G. Foglieni placed the ball out of reach for the home side's keeper after a fine move, coming in from the left. After 38 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for 駿. 大谷 (Otani) who increased Yokosuka-A-FC's lead to 0 - 2. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, 健. 平山 (Hirayama) got himself booked. The manager of Yokosuka-A-FC was not happy. Achiken's C. Uţă cut towards the middle after 40 minutes, receiving a brilliant pass and slicing through the visiting team's central defence, reducing the lead to 1 - 2. C. Uţă tried using a burst of speed to get past his defender after 41 minutes, but it takes more than that to get past fast 駿. 鈴木 (Suzuki). 1 - 2 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Yokosuka-A-FC, with 56 percent of the ball.

E. Abramov received a delicate pass through the home side's central defence after 80 minutes, and chipped it past the flailing keeper to score making it 1 - 3. The Yokosuka-A-FC fans went wild, whilst the home fans started to think about leaving early. The boggy pitch disrupted the game, especially for technical players like H. Camara. A. Guba charged down the left and looked sure to score for Achiken 83 minutes into the game, but his shot went just wide. Possession in this half belonged to Yokosuka-A-FC, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

Most important Achiken player was A. Narváez. However, H. Camara made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Yokosuka-A-FC player was without a doubt G. Foglieni. C. Torquemada on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 1 - 3.
